Specifications

Operating your WiTi Motorhome Alarm System

The WiTi Motorhome Alarm System is Australia’s leading Alarm and Intrusion Detection System designed for motorhomes.
In the event an attempt is made to break into the vehicle the Alarm system will be activated. All the lights flash and the alarm sounds. This continues as long as movement is detected. Once movement ceases WiTi Motorhome Alarm will reset after 30 seconds.  WiTi Motorhome Alarm is sensitive to high frequency impacts (metal on metal). A sideways / rocking motion has been programmed out to prevent activation in windy conditions.
WiTi Motorhome Alarm includes a Passive Infra Red Motion Sensor and a Magnetic Door Switch. If the door is opened or movement is detected within the vehicle then the system will be activated. The Motion Sensor can be switched on/off via the switch on the  side of the Motion Sensor Unit. By switching off the Motion Sensor the alarm can be activated while moving around inside the motorhome.
To activate WiTi Motorhome Alarm, press button A on the remote control, the side and front markers and indicators will flash once followed by a 3 second safety pause and then a double flash to indicate the system is armed. The Alarm Status LED will  illuminate. To deactivate, press button A again, the side and front markers and indicators will flash once and the Alarm Status LED will switch off.
Button B on the remote control activates an emergency Panic Alarm. To activate the Panic Alarm, press and hold Button B for 3 seconds. To deactivate press and release button B again.

WiTi incorporates an advanced safety system to ensure the system cannot be accidentally activated whilst the vehicle is moving. After activating the system, if movement is detected during the 3 second safety pause the system will not arm. The lights will not  flash twice and the Alarm Status LED will not illuminate.

WiTi Motorhome Alarm front panel indicator lights

There are two LED’s embedded in the WiTi logo. When the unit is receiving power the orange LED will illuminate.
The 3 coloured LED’s correspond to the various outputs and are colour matched to the wires on the wiring loom. These will illuminate when the corresponding output is active. This will assist with fault finding and confirming that the outputs are functioning correctly.
LI – left indicator
RI – right indicator
DL – driving lights and side markers

The following LED’s describe fault conditions:
SC – short circuit
RP – reverse polarity
OV – over voltage
The RF button is used to programme remote controls and sensors to WiTi Motorhome Alarm System.

Programming Remote Controls and Sensors

The WiTi Motorhome Alarm system is supplied with two remote controls, a Passive Infra-Red Motion Sensor and a Magnetic Door Switch Sensor. Additional PIR Motion Sensors and Magnetic Door Switches can be purchased from WiTi and added to your  existing system by following the instructions below.

Programming remote controls
For each new remote control, press the RF Button on the front panel.
The blue LED above the button will flash once to indicate it is in pairing mode. Now press Button A on the remote control and the LED will flash repeatedly for a few seconds. Repeat for Button B.

Programming the PIR Sensor
Turn the power off on the PIR by using the slide switch located on the left hand side of the unit. Press the RF button on the front panel and the LED will flash once to indicate it is in pairing mode. Now turn the power on on the PIR with the switch on the side of  the PIR. The LED will flash repeatedly for a few seconds. The PIR is now programmed. Multiple PIR units can be programmed by repeating the above instructions.

Programming the Magnetic Door Switch
Ensure the door is closed. Press the RF button on the front panel and the LED will flash once to indicte it is in pairing mode. Open the door and the LED will flash repeatedly for a few seconds. The door magnet is now programmed. Multiple Magnetic Door  Switches can be programmed by repeating the above instructions.

Clearing all programmed units
To clear all previously programmed units press and hold the RF Button on the front panel for 10 seconds. This will erase all previously programmed remote controls and sensors.

Replacing batteries in Remote Controls and Sensors

Remote Controls
Remove the three small screws on the back cover of the remote control and remove the cover. Replace the battery with type 27A 12V. Replace the cover and tighten the three small screws in place.

PIR Motion Sensor
Switch off the PIR with the slide switch on the side of the unit. Remove the screw at the base of the unit and gently pry off the cover. Replace the battery with a standard 9V Alkaline battery. Replace the cover and tighten the screw at the base of the unit.

Magnetic Door Switch
Pry the cover off the larger magnetic switch component, the one with the blue LED. Remove the old battery and replace it with type 23A 12V.
Replace the cover.

• Please discard old batteries in a responsible manner.

Installation Instructions

WiTi Motorhome Alarm System
The unit must be installed vertically and facing either the front or rear of the vehicle with the wiring harness protruding from the bottom of the unit. WiTi uses gravity to initialize the gyroscope and detects acceleration in the direction of travel. If not installed  correctly functionality will be compromised. The unit must be installed inside the vehicle. This will make the unit more sensitive to knocks. The unit can be screwed onto a panel through the mounting lugs using appropriate sized screws.
The horn is weather proof so it can be installed externally.
The Alarm Status LED outputs must be connected to the supplied 12V LED as per the wiring instructions. The LED will light when the alarm is armed and switch off when the alarm is disarmed. The LED will flash if a short circuit or overload is detected. Install  the LED in an area which is visible to the user.
The vehicle battery must be connected to an acceptable charging circuit – either solar panels, anderson plug or DCDC charger.

PIR Motion Sensor
Install the PIR inside the motorhome so that it will detect movement along the length of the vehicle. The PIR has a range of 11m and will cover the entire length of the vehicle. Do not install it under or near an air conditioning unit, near a heat source (oven /  extractor fan) or in an area which receives direct sun light. Install at a height of approximately 2.0m above the floor. Turn the sensor on with the switch on the side of the unit, the LED will flash briefly and the Sensor will run a self test for approximately 30  seconds, it will then enter normal operating mode. If movement is detected a signal will be sent to the WiTi Motorhome Alarm System causing it to activate the alarm.

Magnetic Door Switch
Install the door switch on either side of the door frame in a manner such that opening the door will cause the two components to move apart thus activating the sensor. Mount each side using the double sided tape included with the switch.
When the switch is activated a blue LED will light and a signal will be sent to the WiTi Motorhome Alarm System causing it to activate the alarm.

Circuit Protection and Fault Conditions

In the event a short circuit or an overload is detected, WiTi Motorhome Alarm System will disable all functions and the corresponding LED will light on the front panel. All functions will cease until the error has been adressed and the appropriate circuits repaired.
In the event of a reverse polarity the corresponding LED will light and all power to the circuit board will be cut.

with a 30A fuse.
